Access to "old" apps

[tnavarra]

I have searched around the forums and wiki, but I have not found the answer to my question.

I have a f12/Amahi5 install and I want to install apps that are not beta for Amahi5. But they are not on my list of available apps. How can I get them? Specifically I am looking to install Crashplan and Transmission.

Thanks

Hmm, I just looked at the apps list and couldn't find Crashplan either. I installed it quite a while ago (I'm still on Amahi 5) and it is working well for me.

It may be because there really is no integration between Crashplan and Amahi. As I recall, you just install Crashplan from their web site. Your hda doesn't really get involved except that you install their app on it.

I highly recommend Crashplan. It makes it easy to perform backups automatically. You can choose where you backup to. For a fee, you can back up to Crashplan's servers. Or (like me) you can back one of your systems to another one. I have multiple machines, each backing up to another. Pretty simple.

I am starting to come to that conclusion. I will have to step out of amahi and install the programs I need directly into fedora.

Right now I am trying to install PCbackup, the gui front end for rsync. Slow going, since it has been a long time since I have done so much from the command line!

Let us know how that works. I haven't looked at that solution.

If you get frustrated by PCbackup, give Crashplan a try. It really is pretty easy to get going. And, it's free (to backup to your own or a friend's system).
